detecting new files created in folder 1

[Ronze55]

Hi everyone,

I would like to create a .Net program which will detect when an new file is created and activate a transition from .xls to .mdb. the program will be on at all time within a MS Server 2003 box.

The older version of this program looked at the file every 15 secs I can redo this but would like a more transactional solution. can this be done?

thanks in advanced

i know theres something called a filelistener. but i have absolutely no idea what or how to use it. try searching for that. otherwise, someone else here should know.

it's called filesystemwatcher and here is a site on the subject

It watches for changes made in files and triggers an event if something happens to that file or folder.
